' aaa .ilidfory Six years ago these patient halls of leaming were blessed with the arrival of some new students. Toddling down from Central were: lim Bishop, Derwood Cames, Paul Carter, Gene Coffman, Mary Anna Culkin, Betty Embrey, Barbara Forte, Bob Fox, Donna Irwin, Margie HMWILLIAMS Iohnson, Barbara Karbe, lerold Kyser, Ellen Lane, Mary Iennings Fansler, Minnie Parsons Maskiell, Donald Patter- son, George Weldon, Betty Williams, Phyllis Williams, Bob Wood and Bob Wright.

Skipping across from Field were: Gene Allen, Norman Bolin, Lucille Harpool, Betty Hays, Ella Mae Kytle, Ilah lean Lewis, Lenngjgyne. George Tack, ' Wilson. N. H. S. also got that year lean Hoppas from Thomasville, Missouri: Don Reynolds from Enid, Oklahoma: Margaret Rton from Cave Springs: and Lorene Sawyer from Eastview. In the eighth grade two more joined us: Hugh Roy from Ragan and Clinton Harrison from Denver. These past two years were extremely trying to both the students and the faculty and to make matters worse in the ninth grade we gathered into the fold the following: from Kid- doo, Margie Anderson, Iunior Lediord, Marie Walden, and Ioanne Peck. Audrey Crews, Iohn Wade, Mary lane Mueller, Nola lean Reding, Tommie Russell, and Russell Tarvin from Belfast. From Hilldale were Dorothy Kimbrough and Iean McMahan. Iames Herrin and Madeline Corcoran from McEl- hany: Iwana Barnes from Round Prairie: Marjorie Buchanan from Cave Springs: Iohn Shadwick from Edgewood: Rose- mary Sweeney from Rogan: and Elva Ledbetter from Mor- row, Arkansas. Up to now our lives had been noticeably uneventful- the greatest event having been the descent from the balcony to the main floor of the auditorium in the ninth grade. Now that we were Sophomores we knew things were certain to start happening. That year we 'received such notables as: Ray Callahan from Detroit, Michigan: Marie Brasiola from Delta, Ohio: Frank Reynolds of Webster Groves, Missouri: Thomas Roberts from Granby: Iohn Mustion from Elk Creek: Pearl Allen from Heber Springs, Arkansas: and Doris Sager from Westview. In the Iunior year we were joined by Harold Barbee from Guthrie, Oklahoma: Mary Lee Belmont from Westview: lean Dale from Adrian, Missouri: Anna Gudmundsson from Cali- FRANK REYNOLDS BARBARA KARBE patria, California: lmogene Hays from Licking, Missouri: Lois King from Stella: Pat McCauley from Iacksonville, Florida: Allen Porter from Ninety-Six, South Carolina: Doris Stark and Iim Williams from Westview: and Dick Walker from Ottawa, Kansas. The Iunior Play was just ooooooozing with talent. There were such celebrated actors and actresses as: George Wel- don, Margie Anderson, Carroll Mace, Phyllis Williams, Price Landis, Bob Wright, Barbara Karbe, Mary Alice Dabbs, Rus- sell Windes, Margie Iohnson, Barbara Forte, and Betty Embrey. This superb cast presented Every Family Has One. lt was directed by Mrs. Robert Barrett, assisted by Betty Williams. Don Anderson was elected Vice-President and Barbara Forte, Assistant Treasurer in our Iunior Year. ' ' ' iors was a great success. The hall was decorated in pastel colors with silhouettes of musical instruments on the walls. Our Senior year came in with a banglll Through the intelligence of certain members of the class a new word has been coined. tl bet Webster is just green with envy.l The word is l-libbie and its meaning is so pliable that it can replace the entire unabridged dictionary. This year our class was reimbursed by these people: Prunty Campbell from Brady, Texas: Willadean Ballentine from Diamond: Gene Bunch from Stella: and Troy Redman from Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. Don Anderson was elected president of the student body and Patty Gibson as Secretary. We elected these two by an overwhelming majority after a rousing and heated campaign. The Seniors and All-Stars in both basketball and football, our heroes in the sports field, were: Don Anderson, Iack Prickett, George Tock, Russell Tarvin, lim Williams, Bob Wright, Dick Walker and Frank Reynolds. S Barbara Forte and Iirn Williams were elected by the team as Football Queen and Captain respectively. Senior candi- dates for King and Oueen by the annual were lim Williams and Betty Embrey. The Senior play has not been chosen, but we all are looking forward to a presentation as fine as the one given last year by our class. Several boys who would have graduated with us are now serving in the armed forces. They are: lim Adams, Ben Beeler, Marian Brill, Bob Hulsey, I. C. Mounce, Delbert Rogers, Iunior Severs, Lewis Tomlin, Lavoy Davis and Homer Roy. The latter having been killed in action in Belgium.
